Toolspace Background Color

arqlogis — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 13:17:57 GMT

I think there is no setting to change the background color of TOOLSPACE (including all tabs), because its standard white color contrasts a lot with the dark Civil 3D workspace.

For example, some AutoCAD Architecture Tool Palettes have the dark mode implemented.

Would this be a new feature for Civil 3D or is there a real way to change this color?

OP wants to change the background color of Toolspace, behind the text area.

Something like this... For example, Properties Palette have dark background.

You didn't do that just by changing the AutoCAD color scheme from light to dark, or vice versa. So....how did you change that?

It was a trick! 🙂 LOL

Just image editing to show here what I am looking for...

I do not have Adobe Photoshop here, but I did this with Corel Photo-Paint!

It would actually help a lot if they would change the text style they use or give us the option to change to what is more comfortable for the user.

That's my two cents worth, actually its a quarter now LOL

Hi @arqlogis and @Anonymous

Civil 3D does not have an ability to customize the background color of the Toolspace (and the Map Workpane for that matter); it would be a great Idea submission though for UI cohesion and be easier on the eyes!

Heck. You can't even do that in Windows 10 without a registry hack. Everywhere. Less control for the user.
